This comes amid Venezuela’s tensions with United States as the Donald Trump administration takes actions against the government of President Nicolas Maduro, including the seizure of oil tankers and at least one airstrike on land earlier. Apart from these steps, the US military also carried out several deadly strikes on boats accused of drug smuggling in the Caribbean Sea and the Eastern Pacific Ocean.
Trump has repeatedly spoken about possible land operations in Venezuela as part of efforts to push Maduro to step down, including through tougher sanctions.Notably, Maduro has strongly rejected any links to criminal activity and has said the United States is trying to remove him from power to gain access to Venezuela’s large oil reserves and rare earth mineral resources.So far, neither the Venezuelan government nor the Pentagon in the United States has commented on the explosions.
